Another question: could I use the result returned by “MethodInvokingObject” (or some another entity) to initialize some property? Or it’s not possible?

I just added org.pranaframework.ioc.factory.config.LoggingTargetObjectPostProcessor to the svn. This is an object post processor that will auto-register all ILoggingTarget implementations in the application context to the Log.

If you want to use it now, just add this line in the constructor of FlexXMLApplicationContext:

addObjectPostProcessor(new LoggingTargetObjectPostProcessor());

You can then just define logging targets in your context without the need to add them manually via a MethodInvokingObject.

I can’t commit FlexXMLApplicationContext now since I have some more pending changes, but it will be commited in the coming days.

That is unfortunately not possible since templates only replace string at this moment. We could (should) introduce the “parent” attribute on a bean so you’d have to type less. Or we could also have a post processor that adds all ILoggingTarget implementations to the Log it finds in the application context.

Both ideas seem interesting to me and the latter might be particularly interesting for FlexXMLApplicationContext.

Thoughts?

Is it possible to create a template for “MethodInvokingObject” to invoke “addTarget” method several times on? I have multiple log targets so I’m wondering if there is shorter notation to add my targets to the Log object.

did you also reference the TraceTarget class somewhere in your code? Importing is not enough. You really need to refer to it via a variable or a static code block.

private static var includedClasses:Array = [TraceTarget];

or with a static code block

{
TraceTarget
}

Tried “import mx.logging.targets.TraceTarget;” in the Application but no dice. Any ideas?
